56. Won’t you…? ~ませんか?
Why don’t we study Japanese grammar?
Okay. Since we have the above construction in English (using a negative to suggest doing something), this grammar point isn’t too difficult to grasp.
Construction:
1) ~masu verb – masu + masen ka
どこか行きませんか。
dokoka ikimasen ka.
Why don’t we go already?[Notice, I have the English as “we.” It could be “you” if you are angry at the person and wish him to leave…]映画を見ませんか。
eiga o mimasen ka .
Why don’t we see a movie?何か飲みませんか。
nanika nomimasen ka.
Wouldn’t you like to drink something?[In this case you are asking someone individually if they would like something to drink. ]
